[QUOTE="sjmiller, post: 3317121, member: 17262"] I said this earlier, but I think it bears repeating. Using a virtual tabletop costs me a lot more than using an actual tabletop. I don't have a high speed internet connection, so in order to use this "great and wonderful" technology I would have to fork out a lot of money that I frankly do not have. Playing on my rather large dining room table does not incur that expense. Plus, as someone else stated, I sit in front of a computer 8 hours a day, sometimes more. Why on earth would I want to spend 4 or more hours sitting in front of a computer to play a game? I don't play lots of computer game, MMORPGs (obviously), or even video games. I sometimes watch an hour or two of television, but at least there I am not sitting right in front of the monitor. Online gaming is not for everyone. I am not saying it is bad, nor should anyone say that tabletop gaming is bad. They are different, and appeal to different audiences that sometimes overlap. [/QUOTE]
